Start with hiring a defensive coach.Stop with the zone defense. Stop overhelping. Trade Wiggins. Pay Klay $15 million. Hire a new challenge replay coach. Sign H. Giles cheap.
@@michaeldonovan4793 Klay shot poorly because the drop off in aggregate shooting on the floor. Wiggs especially. Couldn’t get spacing even with Curry getting the constant double & traps, because they always respected Klay on D but wouldn’t respect any of the other 3 on the floor. Unfortunately any lineup that could execute offensively crisply enough to take advantage of Steph’s hard double, couldn’t play D.
Thank you for a great year of BB. You’re the best coach and the proof is how your team members speak about😮 you and the great statistics all season. Bummer about the end game of this season but it’s a small blip in the scheme of things. I’m excited about the 2024-25 season. We couldn’t do it without you, Steve. Thanks for all your efforts and for being the true definition of a great leader, mentor, dad, husband and whatever else you do!!
Coach ... i was really irked all year by poor rotations and soft close outs that led to wide open 3s. Steph even when he tried his best to contest didnt seem to faze all the 3 pt shooters this year. The team needs long and athletic guys to compensate. Mikal Bridges, Brandon Ingram, etc. P.S. i know that Steph was turnover prone all year so you felt forced to play him and CP3 more but they are just too small to defend teams effectively. Moody has taken the leap, he's ready for more minutes. Podz can be the primary ballhandler he's really good at pushing pace and attacking the paint (needs to work on his floater still).
@@seanfulgham8070someone replied to me claiming we knew from the start it wasn’t working and I was like “hell no, we was 6-2 lol” then Dray got suspended twice and Wiggs and Klay got worse with CP being out from injury. People never want to tell that part of the story
Finally I hear that he let Moody play more minutes! How nice because I do believe he can shoot well with 3 points ! Whenever he plays I can see he is clam and confidence! A very quiet guy who doesn’t show much! I don’t know I have a good feeling about Moody! Of course, all young players needs a good minutes too! The earlier is the best for them to practice more where are the big 3 are getting older so we need to support the young players too! That will help the big 3 a lot right, Coach 😊
Your good feeling doesn't back up the facts...Moses plays best with limited minutes..The longer he plays problems with decision making, court vision, passing and shot selection come up..He needs to work this summer to get more minutes
we miss ,the best of warrior this year.missing the opportunity of playoff...we respect Cp3 but height or another must built around the 3 old superstars and the younger ones..hope this core still exist for another shot in champioship.
You are not totally right the problem here is perimeter defense with dray and TJD warriors should not be helping so much, in that saying warriors have the pieces but too much agenda/hierarchy basketball is being played here. The starters should be 30, Dray, JK, Moody, TJD Bench is really good: Podz, Looney, Klay, GP2, Gui Santos/ Garuba is good around the rim and rebounding and some size Cp3, Wiggins, Saric (traded)
@@gamerf2p843 CP3 definitely stabilizes our second unit, and sometimes(he is only put in the first unit when they get too crazy.), and runs the second unit better than our first unit in many cases.
kerr has a great mindset about why we lost the close games and on his part he said simplifying the offense which can be true because all the offball and confusion cause alot of the turnovers we have which is really why we were bad
Kerr has a short leash for moody, hopefully it’s because he has high expectations of him. Go moody, still rooting for you! Hopefully more breakout next year!
Trade CP3, Jerome robinson, Wiggins, dario saric for Mikal bridges from brooklyn nets and I promise you this team will be able to win 60games next season. Mikal fan fill the bucket and defend at a high level. So the starting 5 will be Steph, mikal bridges, kuminga, Draymond, Trayce. They will be the no.1 defense in the league. Bench: moody, podz, klay, santos, Loon/kai soto or another big and LQ with a healthy GP2 , no one will be able to stop us. With that, we will have length, athleticism, speed and quickness, IQ with veteran leadership. Next year Memphis, Houston and the spurs will be in the midst so we need bridges
The coaching staff and vets need to adapt and embrace change is the only way Warriors can be a strong contender next season. Now its time to fucos on JK and Moody's development, they're growth had been delayed because of favoritism and lack of trust lol. I know JK had a leap this season but we all know there are still a lot of things that he needs to improve and im glad his priority this summer is to get more better as a player.
Thanks Steve for a great (2nd half of the) season...the momentum toward the end seemed like hitting on all cylinders...shake it up from within though....Kevon best rebounder last year...but the league made adjustments quickly to make sure that did not happen again....JK and Loon are the key to the castle....make them stars and the rest can stay the same....and make a championship team again.... CP3 and Klay are on when they are on....but quickly recognizing That is another big key....48 minutes of effectiveness is essential as a team...
If there are so many guards that are just better than Moody on the team then trade him. Then please tell me what guard on the team not named Steph is better than Mood, hint: it is NOT Podz (I love Podz)
Podz is better, but the two are hardly comparable. Its more liek: Wiggins, Klay, Quinones, GP2…maybe Kunminga. So thats the company he is propably in. Podz is more like CP, Steph, Drey to some dedgree. Moody is essentially a 3 and D guy. Not a decision maker….yet.
@@felixhug6503 I liked the yet. It's hinting at what I've been thinking since they spoke of his mindset and attitude. It seems as if he will become a great decision maker when he's given time to learn (maybe if he plays more here because it would be a shame to see that come true elsewhere).
I grew up a kings fan as a kid. Raised in the Bay Area as a ninties baby, i never even knew of the warriors until the Baron Davis "We Believe" season. That's when i can dedinitivly say i had two favorite teams. Once the Core of Dreymon Klay and Steph came to pass, i was instantly hooked. The Kings started reminding me of oakland A's. They would draft young players, raise them to near stardum just to trade them away before they reached their full potential. Its a hard process because after a few years of deleloping players theyre gone and your back to where you started. I feel in love with the loyalty of the warriors. They could have gone in a thousand direction but they stayed commited to their team. For that hats off warriors. And to the Kings take note.
People get on Jk for not rebounding but all year he's been rebounding more than wiggins, from the start of the year wiggins been bogging down the starting line up even tho lately he had made a few plays and shots he wasnt as newrly impactful as the salary he earns, the problem usnt playing jk and Wiggins is the problem it's wiggins starting with klay is the problem, the -/+ king.
We need 3 rotations-the other a defensive one. There will be some interchangeability, due to our needs and injuries, but I agree that too many changes causes confusion, or at least hesitation. There are 15 slots on our roster, and the new way is to use all 15 for playing-not just development.
Nobody addressed the elephant in the room. Why are the Warriors still resistant on getting actual centers? Going small is a cute strategy but being bullied in the paint is not acceptable. And is definitely not cute.
Regarding the lack of defense against the 3-point, it seems if you have a point guard like Pods who led the team in rebounds and charges in the paint then that's one less player on the perimeter. How to you adjust for that? It really shows how unique a player Branden is and the dilemma to have him shoot more 3's as a potential #2 player like Klay and sacrifice those numbers.
Moody, Kuminga, TJD need to start if this team wants to compete The problem is that their learning curve and timeline doesnt fit with the win-now necessity of the aging big 3 Best bet - find a stretch 4 that we can start (like a dario saric upgrade, one with size that can play defense and get starter minutes). That way you start Steph, Moody, Kuminga, (______), TJD. At this stage convince Klay and Dray to come off the bench and win 6th man of the year. GP2, Loon, Podz rounds out the bench unit. Podz can spot start for Steph. That leaves CP3 and Wiggins to be traded for this stretch 4 that we are lacking Markannen would be a dream fit. Maybe Cam Johnson or Tobias Harris would be nice as well
Let Steph be Steph. More minutes for Moody, Podz, & Davis. Let Saric & CP3 go. Get a big man like Boogie. Develop Kuminga & Santos further. Get Klay on a discount. Get another 2 way player. And for godsake make sure Draymond gets some effective counseling over the long break. His absence alone screwed us into the play-in
I like the comment about having the players make better decisions. This Starts with Draymond Green. Its not a secret that the Warriors play through Draymond Green, and as a team and floor leader, the HC cannot repeatedly have an extension of yourself going off and having a meltdown. Sometimes, the game has just begun and the vitriol towards the officials is in full swing. This cannot be allowed by the staff, and can't possibly endear the player or the team to the officials, who are there with a job to do. You have to keep Klay, but not at the expense of breaking the team's bank.The owner Joe Lacob has said, he's not paying a luxury tax again the upcoming season.Klay does have diminished skills, but I believe he feels the team owes him for what he has meant to them. For that, I would thank Wiggins for coming through, and reassign his salary slot to Klay, a little north of $25 mil.Lockdown defenders, accurate, knockdown shooters, and as Jerry West had reccomended,as you upgrade at each position, you upgrade with size .Either you go all in on a Rebuild, or you get Busy in free agency with a Win Now approach. Coaching and attention to this new roster is imperative, because Kerr and Steph will be coaching and playing in the Olympics this summer.
As a help, I advise Draymond to use the energy of our opponents, who are trying to get him kicked out, and destroy the Dubs, to fuel himself to get better on the court that game.
If you're to stick as a Shooting Team u should study this to have clear shots for your shooters aside to this a combo of attacking and power playing players to contingent ur team You should have a Goal and that is to Win The effects of their players trading the recipient team won and is getting stronger what's left of them they will again build chemistry
Moody isn’t a screen shooter, so can’t really be compared to klay. He isn’t a playmaker so can’t be compared to CP/podz. His play style is more of that of a wing in the wiggins/kuminga mold.
@@RaonakDM true. I was meaning that he plays behind a number of players and for some reason he can not break into a steady rotation. the only flaw I see is lack of speed and perhaps any kind of go to game. I think w real minutes he could be 12 5 w good D.
I hope this season is a wake up call for them and gonna make a change for the team. I'm sure they are not dumb not to notice their play style is outdated and they need to add some size. Stop signing old players
If another non NBA player like Anthony Lamb, Ty Jerome or Cory Joseph gets consistent minutes the ENTIRE season, instead of Moody finally getting a role, its up for Kerr. He's not a real coach, just an ego manager with a good idea who happened to get Steph on the rise. Looney's role is understandable, he is only good in certain situations. Moody has been solid in every single garbage minute Kerr gave him. Leave the players with no upside alone and develop your young guys. Podz and Trayce getting burn honestly doesnt make up for it. Kuminga should have easily replaced Wiggins in the starting lineup this year, especially with him playing like a hostage
The warriors never needed height to win. I dont think thats the answer. Just need to improve on the margins. Get Steph some help, he was shouldering too much this year.
First off, I have deep deep respect for Kerr on so many levels. But .... I think he needs to figure out how to STRATEGICALLY get past his lack of trust of nex gen players. The Warriors in the past 4 years, and even right now, have had a ridiculous weslth of nex gen players ... but none have reached their potential because .... Kerr can't get beyond his lack of trusting these guys.
Has anyone thought that even if we bring Klay back for 20mill, if we don't resign Looney, Saric and CP3,, and we reshape Gary's contract to make it less money for longer (he even mentioned it in his exit interview), we'll get 30mill to hunt free agents for 3 roster spots. If we can't get two/three players that cover needs we'll be screwed. And I don't remember Bjelica and Otto being so expensive.
Getting 30 million to hire 3 players in a worst case resigning scenario is a bad idea? How? You could get two veteran athletic centers and an athletic 4 for around 10 mill each. You change two low athletically and defensively lacking centers and the short Chris Paul for that and it's a bad idea?
@@iwouldntlikemeeitherThat's why I placed the "even if" at the beginning. A worst case scenario would be overpaying him for loyalty and still we could have 30 million to operate. In a worst case? Just think what any good case could be
The change starts with you buddy. Gotta loosen the leash on these young guys. The old ones ain’t getting you far enough. This season falls on you and Draymond. Sorry not sorry.
I appreciate Coach acknowledging that we need someone on the backcourt with Steph. Trae Young would be excellent with Steph on backcourt offense/shot production stepping into Klay’s former role and he is supposed to be available for the trade.
@@familygonzcartwright Not too small for a splashy shootout alongside 30 on the backcourt. If we put a solid “big” with defensive skills at the 3, 4 and 5 we’ll be much improved. Mike, Kerr and Bob have reminded us that 7ft+ defensive players who pass and shoot the ball at a very high level isn’t common in the league rn 🤷🏼♀️
You dont get it. If they keep the 3 together they wont win. They have to get younger. Dray and Klay need to go. Its the only way to get Steph his 5th ring.
Steve is always talking about other teams' length and physicality. Warriors are the smallest in the NBA. So why can't u see or admit that u need height and strength???? And what about a new defensive coach?
Love having cp3, and keeping Klay for a reduced cost if he's willing and bringing him off the bench. Cp3 and Klay with that second unit can be really solid. For sure need to trade our guy Wiggs and some role players for maybe another star level player. Gotta keep TJD, JK, and Podz in my opinion. Moses, GP, Looney, and the other youngins can be pieces to trade. Couple years left of what we got in Steph
Turn Overs and errors is the Problem hereIt's the Rotation that is trash in this Team they are traditional I think they are still trapped in the past years era of playing upgrade men
The team got better as Steph got worse. Klay played great off the bench. Draymond is Draymond... time to evolve, not break apart. And Steph doesn't need help, Steph needs to take the help given. Pods, JK, Moody... all want more ownership. Give it to them. IMO
@@ULTRA-MANGO You know its true, we all see the self induced turn overs, the soft fumbles. The win/loss record since All Star weekend, and steph's inconsistent numbers. You just choose not to address ... and Kerr.
It's a new world. Old ideas will no longer work. You have to pay attention to how things really are, and go with what works, rather than go with your mind(e.g. 20-point leads are safe. You have to cut down the number of players playing in the playoffs-which was done prior to our possible playoff situation-etc.). It seemed like every situation when you went with what your past knowledge told you, it backfired. This new world is a positive world-negativity(e.g. towards your players, GM, etc.) no longer works.
@@RoE99 Well Kerr's usually gonna thank 100 ppl (he read that from a Dale Carnegie book). Then he's gonna joke around and compliment the journalists and then talk about how he maybe can change some stuff. Like I don't feel like anything is gonna change next season - and it might not even be his call. S. Curry runs the show and unless something drastic happens, we CANNOT contend. His vibe is like a victim - like he can't do anything
wiggins needs to be traded because he regressed how do you become an allstar then after a good season you become a bench warmer missing games we need a 2nd scorer.
Kerr and Dray needs to be gone. The Warriors remind me of a relationship that needs to end but one keep holding on. How much more does Draymond needs to hurt this Franchise before they Get it. No one player is bigger than thier Team.. They treat dray like he is God.. Let Go of this guy.. It's not like you are winning with him.. make a change.. Kerr is a failure as if late.. He just talk a bag of crap.. You need young Long Players .. You guys will dump Wiggins like you Dump Jordan but they are not your problem. Your problem is coaching , roster building and #1 Problem name is DRAYMOND GREEN
Please do not resign Chris Paul and Klay Thompson. Please trade Wiggins for obvious reasons & if needed include Kuminga. Sell Kunminga while high. Feel he is currently overvalued by the league. Perfect time to sell & get great value. People are too enamored by Kuminga’s athleticism. His basketball IQ, decision making, & handles are all below average for a player of his hype & perceived value. These deficits have proven to be significant liabilities. Unlikely to be an all star in year 4 or anytime soon unless some unforeseen magical leap forward occurs. Need SC, DG, PODz, Moody, and TJD starting . PODZ, MOODY, & TJD need STARTING minutes, while keeping DJ & SC minutes the same. Could be great.
The only way to recover from the failure to draft Tyrese Halliburton and instead took James Wiseman is to get Lebron and Bronny this summer - LBJ on a veteran minimum and Bronny on a rookie deal.
Time to think outside of the box.....What if you put 3X resources into making Kevon Looney the next Lebron....programming physically, and strategicaly...a 6'9" Point guard...he knows the game better then all of the other players it seems....he just is never given the runway to shoot 3xs as much....has he ever practiced his turn around "Durant" jumper for 3 hours straight in a practice?...the Splash Bros. built the new NBA 10 years ago and everyone has caught up to the "Warriors 3's Win games" mentality"...Now its time to re-invent again....Draymond and Kevon the new splash brothers...with JK and Moody and Ponz ......how cool would it be to see a fast break with JK, and then he stops and passes to Loon ( or Trace) for 3....!!!... -
